Mann. I only got 3 hours of sleep last night because we were trying to get our firmware to work for our design project. We had it almost working excpt for some reason to get the feedback to graph properly we had to reboot the PIC after the GUI had instructed the PIC to start. THat wasn't good enough so we tried to fix it but didn't do version control. So we spent the next 12 hours trying to get back to the point we were at and never quite made it.
In the lab until FREAKING 3am and presentation today from 9-2 and we have not practiced it becase of the firmware.
Also our PCBs had manufacturability problems we realized too late so we can't actually demo our thing on a real oven (it's a reflow oven) since we can't pass 120V@15A on a breadboard so we hvae to use all sorts of simulated power supplies for the AC mains and can't actually get the output to affect the input since no oven is present.
And my eyes still buurn from last night! OW. 12 hour days for the past 2 weeks. ACk. Stupid PCBs.
